NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
Internally, we are having discussion how to collaborate "graphically".
Currently, we use attachments of various source types (PPT, Visio, whathaveyou). Once we reach a somewhat stable version, these are exported into jpg/gif which in turn is embedded into the respective page.
It would be very nice, if we could embed objects which are not only bitmaps.
I see these options
1 Render the attachments. Out document management system does this. This is really neat, as you can preview PDF, Doc, PPT without having to launch the application. However this is a dead end collaboration wise.
2 Support additional mime formats, e.g. SVG.
If we can agree on using SVG for illustrations, we can use this for both display and storage. Change to Confluence should be minimal.
2.1 Support in-place editing as described in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SVG_whiteboard or an "etch-a-sketch" Confluence. 
This should by 2nd stage.
Bottom line:
- Please provide support for embedded SVG
- Consider including in place SVG editing, once appropriate browser / applet support is available.
Workaround
- Confluence 5.7 new feature named File preview have the ability to render svg file. However, Confluence still unable to render it as thumbnail. Hence it is necessary to render the file as a link.
- You can use SVG out add-on to view SVG files in confluence pages. Please try it first in a test environment to make sure it does not disrupt your instance.

[CONFSERVER-1762] Embedding of SVG
Hi everyone!
My name is Charlie and I work in Confluence Data Center.
We are looking to chat with customers who regularly use Confluence Data Center or Server in a non-admin capacity (creating or reviewing pages and blogs etc.) to meet with us 1:1 for one hour to help inform our upcoming product roadmap.
We will be running these sessions in June 2023. If any of your team or colleagues are interested in participating, please reach out to confluence-research@atlassian.com
.
Thank you so much for helping us continue to improve and deliver value to the Confluence community!
Kinds regards,
Charlie Marriott
Senior Product Manager

So a draw.io/apps.diagram.net or Gliffy plugin is available which can export to SVG, but why can't Atlassian natively in 2023 incorporate a W3C standard of SVG?
So SVG really isn't supported despite the fact that my browser can render it natively?
The exclamation mark trick does it. Alas, there are limited sizing options. If one sets the pixel size too smal the result will be 'broken image'
Use this method, it works fine for me.

The Bob Swift Atlassian Apps article has been mentioned a few other times in this thread, but the solution proposed there either doesn't work or works very inconsistently depending on the state of the Confluence document or the server version.
I pretty like the status of this ticket "gathering interets"... after 17 years
Come on Atlassian, this is much needed and should be really simple to implement!
